Each VR has three basic attacks, as well as specialhidden attacks. The left and right triggers each fire one weapon, and both triggers together fires the heaviest weapon. The weapons require time to charge, using an undercharged weapon is usually ineffective.

The secondary triggers activate the dash option, a drastic increase in speed for a brief time. When the dash ends, your are helpless for a brief second. A common mistake of newbies at Virtual On is the overuse of the dash.

Jumps can be performed by pulling the joysticks apart. You can then immediately pull them together to cancel a jump, but only if you didn't fire a weapon in the air. Jumping up then quickly down is the most basicevasionmanuever in the game.

This game has an easy learning curve at the beginning, but as I have learned, it steepens VERY drastically as you go on. I have seen experts in the game who are almost one with the game, they obviously play it way too much. I'm just an intermediate/advanced player. Don't look here for expert advice, look in the web instead. This game is all about practice and expecting your opponent's moves. The more you play, the more experience you get and the better you will be. Unforunately, I can't afford it.
